Chapter 197: The Great Cool Dragon SparrowChapter 397: Shallow Water, Many Turtles
Zhao Tailai's rebuttal came as a surprise to everyone.
Even Li Chen was taken aback.
"Yet, I only saw Zhao Tai come over with a grim expression and said: 'The actions of the imperial court naturally have the intentions of the imperial court. We just need to watch. It's fine to express our opinions, but Your Highness is openly inciting everyone to be hostile towards the imperial court in this kind of setting. If this gets out, someone will inevitably ask Your Highness what you mean.' "
"He suddenly got it" Su Jinpa looked at Li Chen in confusion.
Li Chen shook his head and didn't speak.
But the originally lively atmosphere at the scene instantly went cold because Zhao Tai came out in a clear opposition to Wenwang's Crown Prince.
Wen Wang's son is not easy to offend, but no matter what, Zhao Tai is even harder to offend.
No one dared to stand up to Zhao Tailai for the sake of Wen Wang's son's few words, and even some people thought Zhao Tailai was right...
Wen Wang's son, after a moment of thought, understood Zhao Tai's reason for opposing him. He was not angry but instead politely bowed to Zhao Tai and said: "Master Zhao, your insight is profound. Please forgive me for not making it clear. The court's strategies are mostly beneficial, and I certainly do not intend to slander the court."
"What I criticized was only the Eastern Palace's forceful push for military deployment to Xian Dynasty at the end of last year. There is nothing else."
When these words reached Zhao Tailai's ears, his face immediately brightened considerably.
It's obvious, isn't it Many of the imperial court's recent policies were personally drafted by my father, the chief assistant in the cabinet. To say the court is wrong is to say my father made a mistake.
Zhao Tailai certainly couldn't stand for it.
But if you say that the East Palace is wrong, then everyone is brothers.
Zhao Taile smiled and said, "Now I understand, Your Highness is absolutely right."
They exchanged a glance, reaching a mutual understanding. They smiled at each other, both very pleased with the outcome.
And Su Jinpa, who had also come to her senses, curled her lips and said, "Colluding with the enemy."
In her eyes, even though Prince Li Chen had many flaws, his starting point for the country and the people was absolutely different from Zhao Xuanji, who was solely focused on seizing power.
Although the right and wrong of sending troops to the Xian Dynasty is open to debate, once popularized, sweet potatoes would be a world-shaking great merit.
Such merit is enough to be recorded in history and sung praises by all people for generations. Among these seemingly virtuous so-called sons of prominent families present here, how many can compare to him
Thinking about it this way, Su Jinpa suddenly felt a little bored.
If only I had known this, what a lousy poetry slam this is. I shouldn't have come at all.
Then, for some reason, criticizing the East Palace and the Crown Prince became the mainstream topic of the poetry gathering.
The whole house was filled with talk about the East Palace prince being wrong, a scourge to the country, and not someone the emperor should have trusted.
And this rhythm was clearly what King Wen's son and Zhao Tai were both happy to see.
At this moment, the Crown Prince of Wen suddenly fixed his gaze on Li Chen.
"Prince Qin, you have yet to speak your mind. Do you have no opinion on the current situation Or do you actually agree with the East Palace"
The moment Prince Wenwang spoke, he instantly shifted all eyes to Li Chen.
Li Chen stood up, took a sip from his teacup, and faced the expectant gazes of everyone before suddenly breaking into a smile.
"Why are you laughing"
Zhao Tai, who already disliked Li Chen very much, impatiently said: "Stop playing coy and answer the prince's question!"
Li Chen said calmly: "I'm laughing. The temple is small and the demons are rampant, the water is shallow, and there are many turtles."der the gaze of Long Huaiyu.The carriage swayed and bumped along the official road, taking no more than a few hours to arrive.Long Tiande sat in the carriage, closing his eyes to meditate and contempl...
